Request Web Page in c# spoofing the Host

Question

I need to create a request for a web page delivered to our web sites, but I need to be able to set the host header information too. I have tried this using HttpWebRequest,

Answer 1

I have managed to find out a more long winded route by using sockets. I found the answer in the MSDN page for IPEndPoint:

string getString = "GET /path/mypage.htm HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.mysite.mobi\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n";
Encoding ASCII = Encoding.ASCII;
Byte[] byteGetString = ASCII.GetBytes(getString);
Byte[] receiveByte = new Byte[256];
Socket socket = null;
String strPage = null;
try
{
    IPEndPoint ip = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("10.23.1.93"), 80);
    socket = new Socket(ip.AddressFamily, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
    socket.Connect(ip);
}
catch (SocketException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Source:" + ex.Source);
    Console.WriteLine("Message:" + ex.Message);
}
socket.Send(byteGetString, byteGetString.Length, 0);
Int32 bytes = socket.Receive(receiveByte, receiveByte.Length, 0);
strPage = strPage + ASCII.GetString(receiveByte, 0, bytes);

while (bytes > 0)
{
    bytes = socket.Receive(receiveByte, receiveByte.Length, 0);
    strPage = strPage + ASCII.GetString(receiveByte, 0, bytes);
}
socket.Close();
